Winnipeg Newborn and Maternity Photographer

For the season that changes everything.

Heartfelt, unhurried photography for the moments you want to remember forever.

There is a special kind of tenderness that lives in this season. The anticipation, the first hours, the way your whole world rearranges itself around this tiny new person.

I am here to document all of those fleeting moments and emotions!

I work intentionally and quietly. There is no rush, no rigid schedule, and no pressure to look a certain way. Just honest, warm photography that honours exactly where you are right now.

MATERNITY SESSIONS

You deserve to be in the photos too. Always.

Maternity sessions are close to my heart. This is one of the most fleeting chapters of your life and it moves so fast. Your pregnancy is a transformative time and I document you in it, really in it, in a way that feels soft and true to you.

We can go natural light outdoors for something luminous and dreamy, keep it intimate at home for something quieter and more personal, or head to a studio and plan something fun and unique! Either way, I will make sure you feel beautiful, comfortable, and completely at ease!

Best timing: 28 to 34 weeks, when your bump is full and you are still feeling good, although for subsequent pregnancies or if you prefer a very small bump, we may aim for even sooner!

NEWBORN SESSIONS

Before the world gets louder.

The tiny fingers. The way they curl into you. The way your home feels different now and you feel different too.

Newborn sessions are done entirely on your timeline and, often, in your home. I come to you. Sessions are relaxed, unhurried, and centered completely around your new little family. If an in-home session is not up your alley, we can book a studio or even head outdoors depending on when your little one arrives.

Best timing: about two weeks of age, when babies are sleepy and still curled up small, but you’ve had enough time to heal a little and settle in. With that being said,  newborns at any age are worth photographing. Reach out and we will figure out the timing together.

THE FULL EXPERIENCE

This is a full-service experience, not just a session.

Every newborn and maternity session includes an online reveal appointment where you see your gallery for the first time with me. We talk through your images and figure out how to bring them into your home in a beautiful way that matches your home.

Wall art, albums, framed prints. These seasons go fast and having something physical to hold onto makes a real difference.
